Report details the findings and recommendations of the Spatial Plans in Practice project, a three year study into the new local plan-making system. It shows that the majority of local authorities are having difficulties introducing the reforms and new plans and that lack of leadership is to blame in some cases. Despite delays there have been some positive changes, including the shift towards more stakeholder engagement and integration of policy through the spatial planning approach. Also describes how planning authorities and other bodies have utilised the findings of the report.
